dragonmage27: Finally, a very slow updater I am. If any are wondering this happens after the Chunnin Exam, but before Sasuke was taken by the Sound Four. Tsunade is still the Hokage. It will be to big of a problem since I never found out what happened to Sasuke and if Chouji and Neji have a critical problem, allowing them to not be able to become ninjas anymore then I will have a problem. They are needed to be able fight in this story; I'm not saying this chapter will have any fighting scenes. I am also a pretty bad a writing fighting scenes so this may not be the right story for. Sorry, that was just a forewarning. But I might have some sort a combat between our main characters.

Shinobi Magic

Chapter 3: The Sorting

Hagrid had brought them up to the castle and knocked on the castle door three times. The door was opened by a black haired witch in emerald-green robes. She told all the first years to follow her.

All the Hidden Leaf ninja's were receiving funny looks due to each of there abnormal features. Not only the Hidden Leaf but Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro, who they finally saw. A look on Kankuro and Gaara's face was clearly written- annoyed. As Kankuro said, he hated little brats and being surrounded by eleven year olds is like pure hell.....

There were also three other ninjas that they never noticed before. Two are from the Hidden Clouds and one is from the Hidden Grass. One look in their eyes you get the feeling-cold.

(A/N- I'm not going to copy that entire page so deal with it. Professor McGonagall, will say her regular speech of houses. Then she tells them to wait for her momentarily).

As she left, everyone started whispering, namely about the ninjas because they kept on waving and sneaking looks at them. Suddenly a boy came right up to their group.

"Hi, my name is Colin Creevey, can I take picture?" before they could respond CLICK. "Thanks."

Since they did not have portable cameras in Konoha, half of the genins whisked up a kunai, looking ready to attack Colin. "Wow, where you get that knife from?" asked Colin, clearly not afraid. Pretty stupid if you ask me, as he went to examine the kunai. In less than a minute he can be dead on the floor, throat slit and eyes gouged out.

"Put them down," said a stern voice behind them. It seems Professor McGonagall was back.

Colin Creevey put down his hands that were fingering kunai as if he never went into a kitchen. The first years, that had their hands up put them down and quieted.

"The weapons I meant," said Professor McGonagall. She shook her head, as the shinobis slowly withdrew their weapons. "Now will you follow me please," it was more of a statement than a question.

As she led them through the great doors, she went write up to the front, leaving her future students gaping at the ceiling.

"I will now announce your name please step right up and sit in the stool to be sorted. (A/N-I am sorry but I lack in the ability to write songs nor poems. Please excuse me. If you want to hear a school song, look at the first, fifth or fourth book.)

------------------------(meanwhile at the Gryffindor table)---------------------

"Hey Hermione, what are you looking for?"

"Nothing really Neville, just Harry and Ron, they weren't on the train," replied the girl called Hermione.

"Hermione stop looking, maybe baby Ronnykins got tired of school and got Harry to ditch with him," said Fred (or George).

"Listen to him, Hermione, check out those new students. Whiskers and a jumpsuit, red hair even deeper than ours. For once the Weasleys, won't be the family with the most extravagant hair color. And hah, even pink, what's with the net shirt? Who does he think he is, the lunch lady?" said George (or Fred).

"Hermione, look at the table, I don't see Professor Dumbledore or a new face. And about the new class, who's going to teach us? Snape's missing too." asked Neville as he stared at the shinobis in awe as the rest of the students are doing.

"I don't know, I don't know."

-------------------(meanwhile at in Albus Dumbledores Office)-------------------

Professor Dumbledore sighed yet again. Truly he shouldn't say stuff like this but he really regretted hiring Gilderoy Lockhart. Most positively is that this year the students won't get an education on DADA (Defense Against the Dark Arts) and this brave man he claims to be wants to take away the job for Instructor of the Shinobi Arts.

"Listen Professor Lockhart, I have already hired a instructor so please-"

"Even better Professor," interrupted Lockhart, "I can teach him a few things about sinobis."

"I am sorry but Gilderoy, it is shinobis not sinobis and-" yet again Dumbledore was interrupted, this time by a knock on the door. He waved his hand gesturing the door to open.

In came a prefect, followed by a tall ninja with his left (or was it right?) eye covered.

"Ah, Kakashi, here you are. Now Gilderoy, this is Hatake Kakashi. He is the shinobi I suggested is the best for this job." As Dumbledore said that Lockharts face faltered his face wandering from red of anger point to red of embarrass point. He finally seemed to get it, as he left saying he was going to wait by the gargoyles statue.

Once Lockhart left Dumbledore's office the headmaster hurriedly told Kakashi about the schedules and other important facts, before gesturing to Kakashi to wait with Lockhart as he got to speak to two students who decide to come to school driving a car into a tree.

As Dumbledore decided to leave his office in his mind was not ways to punish Harry and Ron but the following words 'god, a few more years like this I'll die a few years earlier than I'm supposed to.'

---------------------------(back to the sorting)-------------------------------------

As Professor McGonagall opened her mouth to begin speaking the front doors sprang open, revealing a cool and calm Dumbledore, Harry and Ron looking very relieved, Gilderoy Lockhart looking as stupid as usual, a very angry Snape and another teacher none of the students could recognize.

Harry sat down in the Gryffindor table as soon as he got in, Ron following his every move. Harry mouthed the words 'tell you later' as Hermione looked like she was going to pounce on him for answers.

Dumbledore and the other teachers took their seats as McGonagall was going to begin.

"Colin Creevey..." the boy with the camera went up.

"GRYFFINDOR," yelled the sorting hat.

(A/N-I am going to skip all these names, since I don't know them. No, the ninjas were not sorted yet.)

After they finished sorting the first years, Dumbledore stood up. "Welcome and welcome back students, so quickly the summer passes. Now as you may have noticed we have two teachers with us this year. First, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart was appointed as our DADA first this school year." After a round of applause Dumbledore continued. "Second, our instructor of our new class Study of Shinobi Ways is Professor Hatake Kakashi. You may call him Professor Hatake or Kakashi sensei, whichever, you prefer." A huge round of applause arrived, huger than for Lockhart, mainly for Kakashi looking

"Now as you may all have guessed, this year we have some exchange students. They are all shinobis from these following villages, Konoha the Hidden Leaf, the Hidden Sand, the Hidden Mist, the Hidden Grass, and the Hidden Clouds. Now may Professor McGonagall continue," finished Dumbledore.

"Aburame Shino, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year," called out Professor McGonagall. She had said Aburame, like "Abram".

Shino stepped up the stool and sat down. The others looked at him as he nearly jumped a thousand feet.

Meanwhile in his mind 'so, I have never met anyone like you. Bugs inside your body. But you show great honesty and bravery. Your intelligent too, Then it shall be.....' "GRYFFINDOR" called out the hat, as Shino jumped again, and the table he was picked in responded in applause. But Slytherin burst into boos.

Shino with his legs shaking a little bit, walked to his table as Professor McGonagall proceeded. "Akimichi Chouji, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year." Chouji walked up ignoring the whispers and munching on chips. 'Ah, a person who is strong, but your stomach gets the better of you, why not, let it be' "HUFFLEPUFF." He walked over to the cheering table.

"Haruno Sakura from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year," She walked up nervously and put the hat on her head. 'What's this? You can be very strong indeed, but your love affairs are the problem. You're interested in a boy than your talents. Bravery I see yes.... But smart you are more.......' "RAVENCLAW."

"Hyuga Hinata, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year." Hinata slowly walked to the stool, blushing and trying to ignore the looks she was receiving from the male population and the whispers about her weird eyes.

'You can be strong but you have to low of self-esteem. Have more confidence in yourself and you will become a very strong and dependable friend. Smart you are...' "RAVENCLAW."

Hinata walked to the table, a little shaky but happily, to be in the same house as Sakura. At least she didn't have to be alone. 'Now all I want is Naruto to be in my house...' thought Hinata.

"Hyuga Neji, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 3rd year" called Professor McGonagall, once Ravenclaw calmed down from having not one but two cute girls.

Neji, same as Hinata, ignored the whispers involving their eyes, walked up. 'Very silent you are, but brave. Even though you had a sad past..... you are intelligent as well....' "GRYFFINDOR."

Neji was glad to be put into his house. 'It would be awkward for me to be in the same house as Hinata, after what happened in the Chunnin Exams. Chouji was a.....not okay housemate....Shino was okay, silent and strong,' thought Neji as he made his way to the cheering table.

"Inuzuka Kiba, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year." Kiba jumped excited that his turn finally came, then blushed when the rest of Hogwarts snickered.

'Very excited and hyper you are. Reliabable but else lacking.....let it be.' "HUFFLEPUFF."

"Kamiya Susumu, from the Hidden Clouds, entering into the 2nd year," Professor McGonagall had just called one of the three shinobis from the other countries. He had dark spiky, purple hair and his eyes were the same matching color. His attire was pretty hard to see because of the school robes, Naruto could see his style was a bit closer to Neji's, except he seemed to be more attached to the color black and dark blue.

As he walked to the front of the room, he seemed to brush off stares from the females and the glares from the males. Even before the hat touched the spiky tips of his hair, "SLYTHERIN," called out the hat. All they Slytherin girls cheered so loud and batted their eyelids at him; while the boys glared so hard Gaara would have been proud. Susumu ignored it all.

"Masuki Heisuke, from the Hidden Grass, entering into the 2nd year." He was yet another one of the ninjas from the other countries. He had red, dark red hair, almost similar to blood, and his eyes were light chocolate brown. Heisuke's outfit was more like Sasuke's. Except his color was light blue and white.

Same as Susumu, he went straight to "SLYTHERIN", even though he wasn't as attractive as the male from the Hidden Clouds, the girls couldn't resist such a stunning looking male. Yep, they screamed, though not as loud as they did for Susumu.

"Momochi Haku (A/N-he adapted Zaibuza's last name) from the Hidden Mist, entering into the 5th year," called out the Transfiguration teacher. As Haku walked up there, gracefully, all the boys started start cat-calling. "Come on babe, be my girlfriend," or "Go out with me, please, you make my heart burst with flames."

Haku stopped, turned around and raised her eyebrows.

"I'm not gay," he says, a little unnerved. Everyone's jaws dropped.

Haku put on the sorting hat and waited for the hat to respond. 'Intelligent...but you are brave as well. Even more as a matter of fact, willing to give up your life for a loved one. I see, you honor Naruto as one of your loved ones, because he let you find out there are more in the world that will accept you then just a missing-nin. Yes it will be...' "GRYFFINDOR." A few disturbing and unsettling claps came, all from Gryffindor, the other houses were still shocked.

"Nara Shikamaru, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year," called out Professor McGonagall. A minute later, no reply. Professor McGonagall tapped her foot, waiting irritated. There was silence.

"Yo Shikamaru, she's calling you," said Naruto, slapping him hard on the back. Hard. He looked up dazed. Shikamaru had fell asleep.

As he walked up to the stool and sat down, nearly everyone thought he'll be in Hufflepuff. 'Brave you are. But yet I see laziness, and intelligent you are very. Let it be....' "RAVENCLAW"

"Rock Lee, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 3rd year," as his name was called he quickly went to the hat, eager to get into a house. 'Very energetic, and durable but you have some faults....' The hat trailed off. "HUFFLEPUFF."

"Sabaku Gaara (A/N-is that his real last name? If not please correct me, I need a last name for every single person and only Tenten doesn't have one), from the Hidden Sand, entering into the 2nd year." It seemed Slytherin is getting quite a huge amount of newbies this year, for Gaara also went to Slytherin.

"Sabaku Kankuro, from the Hidden Sand, entering into the 4th year." Same for him, he got stuck in Slytherin, to bad with his very dangerous sibling.

"Sabaku Temari, from the Hidden Sand, entering into the 5th year," said Professor McGonagall. As Temari went up she received a few cheers, resulting her to blush. The hat skimed her hair and screamed "SLYTHERIN."

'Oh great, I'm stuck with Gaara and Temari, ones already hard to handle, but TWO. God help him,' thought Kankuro.

"Er.....Tenten, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 3rd year," said Professor McGonagall, she was surprised to not find Tenten's last name on the list. Tenten put on the hat and hoped she was not put into the same house as Temari, not after what happened at the Chunnin Exam.

'Let's see, strong and smart. Not Slytherin eh, then it shall be....' "RAVENCLAW."

"Yamanaka Ino, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year." Ino was slightly disappointed that there weren't much calls from the boys for her, but she shrugged it off and put on the hat.

'Smart and very-hardworking, nonetheless love. So you shall be in.' "HUFFLEPUFF."

"Uchiha Sasuke, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year." Sasuke walked up and gave his famous "hn," at all the many calls from the girls. They were just erupting from everywhere.

'Brave yes. Smart as well, excellent personality, except for your constant rave for revenge. Let's see how bout..,' "GRYFFINDOR."

Sasuke walked over to his table, wincing from the many calls of the girls, just as Professor McGonagall announced the following name, "Uzamaki Naruto, from Konoha Fire Country, entering into the 2nd year." Naruto did a little sort of victory dance, and ran up to the stool in a childish way.

'Bravery, ah yes, a bit stubborn also, and dreams. Such a big dream for someone so small and full of potential. I sense an evil presence inside you, but not quite you. A little dense also, and a troublemaker at heart. But overall a person willing to give up his life for his friends, this kind of person deserves to be in....' "GRYFFINDOR."

"Zunaka Namu, from the Hidden Clouds, entering into the 2nd year." Last was Namu who outfit was similar to his teammate from the Hidden Cloud, except Namu was a head taller than Susumu and more muscular. He had black hair and brown eyes. A few girls whistled for him, as he walked up to the stool. The hat screamed out "SLYTHERIN as he attempted to put it (him, her??????) on his head.Namu walked over to his table, Snape could have sworn he saw him smirk at Susumu.

As everyone settled down, Dumbledore stood up to have his annual talk.

"Now that you have all been sorted, may you treat your knew housemates nicely. As you all should know, the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. As well as important, please remember there is not allowed to perform magic between classes and in the halls. Also for all shinobis that have just been sorted, if you would like to train you will have to do it in your free time, outside on the school grounds. That includes you Kakashi, please use Taijutsu only if possible. I would not like students to get lost in your Genjutsu or for you to burn down Hogwarts.

Now may you have a good school year and enjoy your meal and stay here," finished Dumbledore with a wave of his wand causing food to appear, Harry Potter's first sign of a wonderful school year.

----------------------------------

dragonmage27: Wow!! Finally I am done. Sure was long. I am sorry if you do not like the houses you are sorted in. I find it boring if they all go to Gryffindor, if you add it all up, more go to Slytherin then Gryffindor. As you might already see the ones I put in Hufflepuff I dislike. I also don't like Sakura that much but I have to pput her in Ravenclaw or I'll be seriously scolded. Does anyone know what is Tenten's last name?

Coming up next-Who are these three ninjas, their secrets will be revealed!! Review!!!!
